Recommendation Letter:
We require two (2) recommendations from a professional relationship. The online
application provides a mechanism for obtaining these electronically as well as the
ability to print a form if your recommender chooses to submit a traditional paper
recommendation. If your recommender chooses to submit a paper
recommendation, please request that they complete the form provided in addition
to any personal letter that they may wish to enclose. The recommender should
place the completed form in an envelope and write their signature across the
sealed flap of the envelope. Although we prefer that the completed
recommendation be given back to you and placed, unopened, in your selfmanaged
application packet, we will accept recommendations that are mailed
directly to our office. The recommendations must be originals. We will neither
accept recommendations that have been faxed or sent via email nor will we
accept any recommendation that has been opened. Notification will be sent to
each recommender to acknowledge our receipt of the recommendation.
